Moreover‚ Steinbeck uses a descriptive form of language to show that the ranch workers have an unpleasant‚ narrow future. he demonstrates this when he says ’’the bunkhouse was a long‚ rectangular building’’ this gives the reader the impression of the bunkhouse being long and thin in shape‚ almost like a corridor‚ representing the men’s narrow pathways in life. This also shows that the ranch workers are restricted from fulfilling their dreams because they have an unpleasant future‚ as they aren’t

How Crooks is presented in Of Mice and Men Our first proper introduction to Crooks is at the beginning of Chapter 4 when Lennie sees Crooks’ light on when looking at his puppy and goes to investigate. This is a very significant point in the novel because it is the first real point of contact that any of the white ranch hands‚ maybe apart from Slim‚ have had a proper conversation with him apart from during work‚ when he is referred to as a “nigger”. This is hinted at when Crooks says to Lennie

there are many characters that stand out as being weak in many different ways in the book with either physical or mental weaknesses‚ and occasionally both. Candy clearly is easily dictated as Carlson proved‚ but I think the presentation of Curley’s wife and Crooks is more intriguing. Steinbeck also presents Curley’s wife as a doll ’her hair hung in little rolled clusters‚ like sausages’ which has the effect of objectifying her.

How are dreams presented in Of Mice and Men? During the 1930’s in America‚ at the time of the Great Depression‚ John Steinbeck‚ an ordinary migrant worker wrote perhaps the shortest but well known novel – Of Mice And Men. I think Steinbeck was influenced by the poem “To A Mouse”‚ because the novel and poem are slightly alike. They both have dreams and determination but in the end‚ both are destroyed. In the novel‚ Steinbeck shows us that dreams are futile. You only have the dream because you are

being ‘the key to good health’ is bound to be fraught with issues. TS1: There is certainly some truth to the adage that lifestyle is the passport to good health. Considering the soaring number of fitness centres in many city-centres and the burgeoning health-food craze‚ many do believe eating the proverbial ‘apple’ does help ‘keep the doctor away’. An endless number of studies have also shown that living and eating well significantly reduces the need for pharmaceutical remedies in the first place

Of Mice and Men - Comparison The name of this book/movie is ’Of Mice and Men’. The book was written by John Steinbeck‚ and the movie was directed by Gary Sinise (also stars as George). I will be comparing the movie and book‚ to see the differences and how effective they are. George and Lennie are men who travel around working at ranches.

he tells the mouse that it is not alone in failing to build wisely for the future; men fail at that too. In "To a Mouse‚" Robert Burns develops the need to respect nature’s creatures‚ especially the small‚ the defenceless‚ the downtrodden . As a small creature‚ the mouse represents not only lowly animals but also lowly human beings‚ ‘common ‘ folk who are often miss treated by the high and the mighty. As many who have suffered failure and loss‚ Burns’ narrator‚ or perhaps Burns himself‚ expresses
